Toks2008: Bro, take it from someone who knows, masturbation is sin.....a big one. First of all, let's ask ourselves this question: why do people masturbate? They do it because they want to have sex. In other words, they are substituting it for sex. Does God wants us to have a sex substitute? No, I don't think so. Bottom line, people practice masturbation in an attempt to have sex. It is lust. Please tell me, how can we justify a sexual act between one person that only takes place when you dig up lustful (sometimes perverted) thoughts into your mind? Masturbation always involves impure thoughts. You CANNOT masturbate while thinking about praises and worship for instance or while in the spirit of prayer. You cannot masturbate without lusting, and remember that the Lord Jesus Christ says that if you lust after a woman (man) you've already committed fornication with him/her in your mind. Hence, masturbation is LUST and it is controlled by the spirit of perversion. People who are in such bondage need to pray it out of their lives. Furthermore, a book called "The Ministry of Healing pg 142 revealed that demons work the organs of man during masturbation. Here is a quote: "Satanic agencies took possession of men. The bodies of human beings, made for the dwelling place of God, became the habitation of demons. The senses, the nerves, the organs of men were worked by supernatural agencies in the indulgence of the vilest lust ..." It is not natural for a man or woman to be aroused by themselves. God did not instill this originally in man. It came from the degeneration of sin. When one participates in masturbation, they have also made demons their partner. You may think you're by yourself but demons are there with you working your body, arousing your body and causing your mind to go places where God never intended. Quick question: If you are fully aware that the Lord Jesus Christ is right there with you in the room, would you masturbate? That's a food for thought. Meanwhile, try and get hold of the book I recommended above. It would open your eyes regarding most of the perverted sex acts we have in this day and age. O pari 2 Likes 1 Share |

A report released by pornhub, a website for sexual contents, in 2014 showed that the number of pornographic views on its website rose from 63.2 billion video views in 2012 to 78.9 billion views in 2013, and that phones accounted for 45 per cent of these views, while desktop was 44 per cent and views on tablets rose by 20 per cent to account for its 11 per cent. Thus, the website declared 2014 as the year porn went mobile, with Android users in the United States being the highest viewers, followed by Canada and the United Kingdom. Monday was found to be the most popular day peopled viewed the x-rated movies. While one in three women in the US watch porn regularly, according to statistics, 70 per cent of men aged between 18 and 24 visit porn sites at least once a month. But that is not the crux of the matter; Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya have been found to be the three most anti-gay countries that watch gay porn the most, according to a study in 2013. These countries were found to have the highest Google search for “gay sex pics” and “anal sex pics” with Kenya leading the chart. According to the ranking index, Kenya, had 100, South Africa 72, Nigeria 56, Pakistan 46 and United States 10, among others. A study by some Germans has found that watching pornography could have a damaging effect on the brain and that more of it could re-wire the brain and alter its structure and functions. In fact, the study stressed that it could shrink part of the brain and reduce the ability of watchers to be sexually stimulated. According to the study, published on medicaldaily, having sex and watching pornography cause dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for learning, reward, emotions and pleasure, to be released in the brain. The researchers noted that the more porn a person watches, the more the dopamine that is released, which makes the brain to be desensitised to its effects, which could reduce their decision-making capabilities. Young people who watch porn frequently were also found to have reduced likelihood or tendencies to venture into risk-taking ventures. The leader of the researchers, Simone Kühn, noted that men who view too much porn may become lazier than others and that their research provided strong evidence that pornography might harm the brain in some ways and change its size. About 64 healthy German men, aged between 21 and 45, participated in the study. Kuhn and her colleagues asked the participants how frequent they were watching pornography. Their brains were studied with the aid of functional magnetic resonance imaging to see how the brain reacts to pornography. According to Kuhn, their findings showed that those who watch pornography have smaller corpus striatum, a part of the basal ganglia of the brain, comprising the caudate and lentiform nuclei, and that the more pornography people watched, the lower the activity in the reward centres in their brains. She said, “We found that the volume of the so-called striatum, a brain region that has been associated with reward processing and motivated behaviour, was smaller the more pornography consumption the participants reported. “We also found that gray matter volume in the right caudate of the striatum was smaller among frequent porn viewers. Men who watched more porn also showed less activity in another area of the striatum, known as the left putamen, which lit up when exposed to sexual stimuli. “These brain changes are similar to those seen in cocaine addicts, who develop abnormalities in areas, such as the nucleus accumbens and striatum, which are responsible for learning, memory, pleasure and reward. “Moreover, we found that another brain region, which is also part of the striatum that is active when people see sexual stimuli, shows less activation the more pornography participants consumed. “In essence, the connectivity between the brain’s striatum and prefrontal cortex worsened with increased consumption of pornography, suggesting poorer and impaired decision-making capability. Thus, frequent pornographic consumption would surely change how the brain works, and basically, everything that people do very frequently can shape their brain structure and function.” The researchers further warned that people who are used to watching porn tend to first think of porn instead of the actual sexual experience anytime they have sexual desires, once their brain associates the feelings given by oxytocin, vasopressin and serotonin (often released during porn or sex) to pornography. The researchers had yet to ascertain the level of impact watching porn has on the brain. A physiologist, Gary Wilson, said the addiction from pornography creates a constant need to feel that strong stimulation to watch it some more, thereby needing more dopamine, which could wear out the brain. He added, “Sometimes, the brain gets worn out and halts the production of dopamine, which leaves the viewer in quest for more satisfaction with the inability to reach it. This can provoke the viewer to seek out more intense porn to get high. As a result, it can give a person a reason to watch more porn, which is why addictions are difficult to break.” Commenting on the study, a neurologist, Dr. Emmanuel Olusola, said there were convincing evidences to show that pornography could have an effect on the brain. He said, “Prolonged and irresistible viewing of pornography definitely causes changes in the chemical, synaptic function and anatomy of neurons in the basic brain cells in certain parts of the brain, most especially the frontal lobe function. “Basically, this addiction causes down function of brain cells like other forms of chemical addictions like alcohol, amphetamine and cocaine.” Also, a psychologist, Prof. Oni Fagboungbe, agreed that watching pornography could affect the brain, and that it could change the conditioning of the brain. He said, “It’s not the watching itself that would dull the brain, rather the conditioning. When somebody watches pornography over time, the person becomes engrossed and the reticular activating system in the brain would be conditioned to watch more of it at the expense of other things, which could make such people perform badly in other areas.” He added that pornography could also make the watchers lose interest in the real sexual intercourse because they “tend to get satiated with watching it.” [source: PUNCH website] |

Toks2008: Chai....I beseech you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, please listen to what Icon79 has said to you. Save your soul and those of other people who may be reading your posts. "There is a way that seem right to man, but the end thereof leads to destruction". Why do people feel ashamed about masturbation? Why does it feel so bad, weighs people down mentally and destroys their self esteem? There is something inherently wrong with masturbation! Being that you have been a 'born again' since 1987, I'm rather surprised to hear you ask for bible passages specifically mentioning 'masturbation' as a sin. Is masturbation not classified under lust and impurities? Will you ever be proud to tell God that you masturbated?? Don't be in a hurry to reply.......Think and ponder over these things. 1 Like |

4Qbitch: 2 errors. First Nude photos are NOT pornography. They have the wrong definition for fornication. [url] http://inkaboutit4u.com/?p=Fornication_Does_NOT_have_10_different_meaning_like_they_want_to_tell_you.[/url] 2nd error Jesus said to say NO vows. http://inkaboutit4u.com/?p=Vows_Make_NO_Vows_Jesus_Said Vows Make NO Vows Jesus Said Don't make any vows!! “But I (Jesus) say, don't make any vows!” ******Repeat this again****** Jesus Commands: Don't make any vows!! Mt 5:33 "Again, you have heard that the law of Moses says, 'Do not break your vows; you must carry out the vows you have made to the Lord.' 34 But I say, don't make any vows! If you say, 'By heaven!' it is a sacred vow because heaven is God's throne. 35 And if you say, 'By the earth!' it is a sacred vow because the earth is his footstool. And don't swear, 'By Jerusalem!' for Jerusalem is the city of the great King. 36 Don't even swear, 'By my head!' for you can't turn one hair white or black. 37 Just say a simple, 'Yes, I will,' or 'No, I won't.' Your word is enough. To strengthen your promise with a vow shows that something is wrong Matthew 5:37 GNT Just say "Yes' or "No' - anything else you say comes from the Evil One. BBE But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One. KJV But let your communication be , Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Matthew 5:37 NAS "But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes ' or 'No, no '; anything beyond these is of evil. NIV Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. ASV But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil [one]. CEB Let your yes mean yes, and your no mean no. Anything more than this comes from the evil one. CJB … `Yes' be a simple `Yes,' and your `No' a simple `No'; anything more than this has its origin in evil. RHE But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil. ESV Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything more than this comes from evil. GW Simply say yes or no. Anything more than that comes from the evil one. GNT Just say "Yes' or "No' - anything else you say comes from the Evil One. NCV Say only yes if you mean yes, and no if you mean no. If you say more than yes or no, it is from the Evil One. NIRV "Just let your 'Yes' mean 'Yes.' Let your 'No' mean 'No.' Anything more than this comes from the evil one. NKJV But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. WNT But let your language be, `Yes, yes,' or `No, no.' Anything in excess of this comes from the Evil one. Compare Translations for Matthew 5:34 Matthew 5:34 BBE But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God; Matthew 5:34 KJV But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Matthew 5:34 NAS "But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, Matthew 5:34 NIV But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; NLT But I say, don't make any vows! If you say, 'By heaven!' it is a sacred vow because heaven is God's throne. CEB But I say to you that you must not pledge at all. You must not pledge by heaven, because it's God's throne. GNT But now I tell you: do not use any vow when you make a promise. Do not swear by heaven, … Matthew 5:34 CSB But I tell you, don't take an oath at all: either by heaven, because it is God's throne; LEB But I say to you, do not swear at all, either by heaven, because it is the throne of God, NCV But I tell you, never swear an oath.

BladeRunner2049: If NEW CREATION Adam and Eve obey God and ate from the "Tree of (eternal) life" 100% of all people would all be walking around 100% nude all the time forever and forever. Eternal heaven on earth per God desire and God's design. Also of course no one would be hiding behind closed doors to have sexual enjoyments. Jesus reversed what Adam did so NEW CREATION Christians can do what Adam and Eve did before they sinned and rebelled against God and God's creation plan.

...you don't understand.. If u belief that there is power in words and in your tongue... You would know how effective this approach is. Not that it's our power or might perse . you know how pple are afraid of false gods..ishango and the rest...This is the Almighty God (we being helpless on our own who sincerely detest such habits) will are involving in the matter. It may not be the best form to kill habits... But it helped me. It freezes my addiction to minus zero degree. I always use my phone to midnight and opening porn site has become alien to me. Same in the department of gambling: bet9ja i lost heavily to bet9ja and lastly also there was this girl I was having this huge sexual attraction for; a friend , more like a big Bro to her while she was like a goddaughter to me... It wasnt long before I threw my reputation away to start harrasing her sexually( touching her inappropriately and not coding my erection from her..even though I knew she was in a relationship +her first... @21 (She was always in my room for either TV or charging her phone) anyway long story short... I brought God's name into the matter..and I have given in to fear of the Lord. We still see very often.. Buh there isn't a passion/,lust to feed from.. Don't get me wrong I do still like her but I know for a fact that she isn't my type of girl...age bracket, education etc. It's just a case of empathy and lust.. So till date no sex with her buh I learnt one thing in the process.. Rape mostly is truly rooted on the premisses of"friendship' that when its coming the victims hardly ever expect it. While she was enduring and rejecting my offers in the most unconvincing or probably immature of ways , I discovered that my lust was indirectly being feed more until I realise I was falling into something I hated. Truly the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. ; |
